The judge weighing a case over President Trump's blocking of critics on Twitter said Thursday that free speech advocates and his lawyers should compromise — by having POTUS mute unwanted feeds.

Manhattan Federal Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald made the suggestion during oral arguments in a lawsuit alleging that Trump's blocking of dissenting Twitter users was "unconstitutional."

The suit, filed in July by The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and seven blocked Twitter users, maintained that Trump's account, @realDonald Trump, is an "important source of news and information about the government, and an important public forum for speech by, to, and about the President."

The judge said Trump could simply elect not to see unwanted tweets by "muting" accounts.

These Twitter users maintain that "because of opinions they expressed in replies to the President's tweets," they "have been prevented or impeded from viewing the President's tweets, from replying to the tweets, from viewing the discussions associated with the tweets, and from participating in those discussions."

Lawyers for the U.S. Department of Justice, which reps Trump in the suit, have claimed @realDonald Trump is not a public forum in the traditional sense — so access to his tweets isn't protected under the First Amendment.

Buchwald said Trump could simply elect not to see unwanted tweets by "muting" accounts.

According to Twitter, the "mute" feature "allows you to remove an account's Tweets from your timeline without unfollowing or blocking that account."
